Pallet trucks are mainly used in the warehouse environment to move pallets from one area to another. They can move pallets from the storage area or warehouse to a waiting lorry with ease. They are able to lift pallets to a certain height and can lift multiple pallets at any one time.They are particularly useful in the warehouse as they are smaller than a forklift truck, meaning that they are able to access smaller and narrow spaces, unlike a forklift. The electric ride-on pallet is also safe to use in the indoor warehouse environment as no harmful emissions are produced.
What kinds of industries might benefit from pallet trucks?
There are so many industries that benefit from using pallet trucks. These industries include the manufacturing industry, the retail store, on the factory floor, the foodservice industry and chemical factories.
What are the benefits of a ride-on pallet truck over a manual one?
The manual pallet truck is operated via a handle that lifts and lowers the fork. This type of pallet truck is usually used for lifting small amounts of pallets, or in a small warehouse. The ride-on pallet truck is far superior as it can cover a greater distance, lift heavier weights, so many more pallets can be lifted at any one time, and it can reach higher levels than a manual pallet truck. Therefore if you need to move and stack large amounts of pallets in a large warehouse environment, then you really need a ride-on pallet truck to do this job for you.
